Just so you're aware: this post / promotion triggers my internal scam alerts.  You need to be very careful how you pitch this.  I would NOT title a post "Help raise awareness for suicide" (Buy my game!).  If you want to pitch it like that, have a respected 3rd party with no vested interested in your project make that pitch for you.

i know it sounds like that but this is the best i can do, not many people talk about this topic.

I know firecat has the best of intentions. And suicide is a serious (as well as a highly complicated) issue.

You don't need to convince me.  You need to convince people who think like me.  You're going to shoot yourself in the foot if you come off as trying to use a "cause" to line your pockets.

 

In addition to my previous suggestion, I suggest detailing exactly how much money is going where--just like you would for a professional crowdfunding campaign.  That short explanation you linked doesn't convince me this isn't a scam.

Not to be an asshole here but your banner has a spelling mistake in it :/
